Am I a racist? Apparently so :
Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for African American relative to European American
Implicit Association Test
Hmmm... not entirely convinced. For example, the order thingie. (See FAQ Q.1)
Having started by associating African-American with "good", I then had to unlearn this behaviour for the second phase, when I was getting a bit more tired and bored. Any connection there?
The FAQ claims order has a negligible effect they're compensating for but I'd like to see a link to some kind of evidence that they've callibrated the test with neutral stimuli to detect order based effects.
Also, look! I hang around with a very PC crowd. I'd be really embarrassed to get this test "wrong". I was probably more careful not to conflate black / bad than other combinations.
Still, it's interesting.
